Flower Prison

On Wednesday, Truffles was telling me that overwatering flowers can kill them. That may be true in real life, but that doesn’t apply in Animal Crossing. But she still thought it was true, and she called herself a flower murderer and said she’ll be put in flower prison! 😆

Truffles: Don't you understand?! I'm a flower MURDERER! They'll put me in flower PRISON!

She said she’s too young and cute to be put into flower prison.

Truffles: But I'm too young and cute to get thrown in flower prison...

They should probably call it the pig pen-itentiary, though. 😉

Yesterday, I received an odd letter from Mom in the mail. She said that the radio station read her letter on the air, but Mom claimed to have no legs to make her story more interesting. Umm, congrats?

Dear Jeff, They read my letter on the radio! I said we had no legs to make our story more interesting. Be sure to tape it! -Mom

Truffles asked me how she was doing, and I was asked to respond with a slider with options of “way better!” and “Not so hot.” I moved it close to “not so hot,” and she thought that meant she was too ordinary. She disagreed, saying she is better than most celebrities. Interestingly enough, the celebrity Gracie was right behind us at the time. 😛

Truffles: I think I'm better than most celebrities, snoutie!

Filbert has still been sick with a cold this week, so I gave him more medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and again today. He’s still sneezing, but I hope he’ll start feeling better soon.

Filbert: Ah-ah-ah... KERSCHNOFF-a-blatts!

When I checked the recycle bin at town hall today, I found a bubble gum shirt there. I guess when you’re looking through the trash, beggars can’t be chews-ers. 😛

I guess the previous owner didn’t want to stick with it.

New Year’s Fortune

Yesterday was New Year’s Day, and I received many New Year’s greetings in the mail.

Happy New Year, Jeff! I guess I should say Happy New Year or something. So, um, Happy New Year. Or something. Write me. -Curt

Mom even sent me 10,000 bells with her letter. Also in the mail, I received my latest bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 91,650 bells in interest for the month.

My villagers also wished me a Happy New Year in person, and Pippy was relieved that the “awful Y2K thing” didn’t happen. Wow, you’re a bit late on that one. This is one bit of dialogue that’s really dated.

Pippy: I'm so glad that that awful Y2K thing didn't just happen!

Over in front of Nookington’s, I noticed some flowers, including a new purple tulip! Just a happy accident, I guess.

Some tulips near Nookington's, including a hybrid purple tulip!

And in front of town hall, I found Tortimer standing outside. He gave me my fortune for the new year!

Tortimer: Happy New Year, Jeff! I prepared a New Year's fortune for you!

Apparently, he thinks I’m going to have a lucky year. And…possibly foolish? 😛

Your fortune: Lucky. Dreams: Maybe. Love: Don't dawdle. Health: You're healthy. Luck favors the foolish.

Frobert seemed to be under the impression that I’m supposed to give him a gift for the New Year! Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way, fribbit.

Frobert: Yo, gorgeous! Hurry up and give me a dang New Year's gift!

Filbert has been sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and today.

Today, Whitney and Frobert must’ve had an argument of some sort. Even though I didn’t see them talking together, both of them were in bad moods in the same part of town.

Whitney: Awww... Why, oh, why do I have to be the star of this tragedy...

Whitney seemed depressed, while Frobert was downright angry.

Frobert: I'm so angry, my muscles are gonna pop off my dang body, fribbit!

At town hall, I found a claw-foot tub in the recycle bin. I snatched it up and then made a clean getaway.

Happy New Year, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry next week!

The Same Crossword

Yesterday, Pippy gave me some “advice” about staying warm in winter.

Pippy: Say, hon... You should always move around a lot when it snows.
Pippy: That way, you can stay warm for FREE! Tee hee! I'm soooo smart!

Pippy and Truffles both asked me for advice on a crossword puzzle, saying they needed the right 7-letter word. In both cases, I chose “crumble,” and that was the right answer. I guess they were both stuck on the same word! 😛

Truffles: It's this 7-letter word. any guess, hon? >Crumble.

It can be annoying getting the same bit of dialogue twice in a row, just moments apart…but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. 😛 Anyway, Pippy rewarded me with a floral wall and Truffles gave me some cabana flooring.

When I visited Filbert, he was angry that Curt called him a pesky little bug. Aww, don’t pay attention to Curt! You’re the best, Filbert!

Filbert: That big meanie Curt called me a pesky little bug! What's the big deal?

Filbert said he ate a fried dough…or six. 😛 Eat what you want, little guy. Curt is just a big bully.

Filbert: So I ate a fried dough! Or six! Whatever!

Today, Filbert was again upset. But this time, he was said that I wasn’t around when he had wanted to make snowmen with me. Aww.

Filbert: 'Cause I wanted to make snowmen with you, but you weren't around!!

He then asked me to make a delivery for him, and of course I had to accept the request. But it was easy, because he wanted me to take a gift to Robin, and we were already standing close to Robin’s house (you can see it in the previous screenshot). He sent her a spade shirt, and Robin loved it!

Robin: Filbert never ceases to amaze me... I feel so understood!

When I told Filbert the news, he rewarded me with an arched window.

Whitney told me she found someone’s diary, and she wanted to read it with me. I suggested skipping to page 1000, and it only said “THE END.” Maybe I should’ve picked an earlier page. 😛

Whitney: Wait a second... What kind of person writes THE END in a diary?

After I finished up making my rounds, I went down to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Safari” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Safari!
